Descripción
Sumario:Thigh pain after hip arthroplasty is multifactorial; uncovering its etiology is paramount for optimal treatment. This is the first case where (18)F‐sodium fluoride positron emission tomography substantially helped in diagnosing the post‐hip arthroplasty persistent thigh pain and appropriate treatment selection. This imaging modality warrants further study and more widespread application.
